The Fifth Commandment.
Deuteronomy 5:16 (New International Version)
16 "Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the LORD your God is giving you."
My attempt at honoring my mother and father as they age and are unable to care completely for themselves.

More Surgery for Dad

A quick post...

Dad saw the thoracic/cardiovascular surgeon today as a recheck after his triple A surgery. While there, I mentioned that Dad is also supposed to see him because he had a MRI while in the hospital for his TIA. Dr. C knew nothing about the MRI or that Dad had a TIA. Couldn't find the MRI on the computer. His assistant got a copy for him. I told Dr. C we had been told his carotid artery was 65% blocked. It is.

Long story short: Dad is having his right carotid artery cleaned out on November 11th. Usual hospital stay- 2 days. I'm praying for less than a week.
